Chapter 1, Problem 14SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, using complete sentence and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Alien Technology. Some people believe that Earth is regularly visited by aliens who travel here from other star systems. For this to be true, how much more advanced than our own technology would the alien space travel technology have to be? Write one to two paragraphs to give a sense of the technological difference. (Hint: The ideas of scale in this chapter can help you contrast the distance the aliens would have to travel with the distances we currently are capable of travelling.)
